Title: Durability-Based Design Criteria for a Chopped-Glass-Fiber Automotive Structural Composite

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/14879· OSTI ID:14879

This report provides recommended durability-based design criteria for a chopped-glass-fiber reinforced polymeric composite for automotive structural applications. The criteria closely follow the framework of an earlier criteria document for a continuous-strand-mat (CSM) glass-fiber reference composite. Together these design criteria demonstrate a framework that can be adapted for future random-glass-fiber composites for automotive structural applications.
